Customizing the WooCommerce product page with a text field!

If you create a WooCommerce Store and are a website creator, you probably know how frustrating it might get if you want to add a particular text field and don’t know how to customize a WooCommerce product page or which WordPress plugin you should use. In this post, I will tell you about customizing the WooCommerce product page with custom fields and the text field in particular with a free editor plugin 🚀.

By default, WooCommerce lacks an easy way to add custom fields and customize the single product page. You can use attributes or custom code, but you may want something more 😊!

Today, I will show you the free editor for the WooCommerce product page & tell you about customizing it with custom fields, for example, the text field. Boost your sales with additional product options 🪟!

Customizing WooCommerce Product Page

First of all, if you want to customize a WooCommerce product page, you will need a suitable WordPress plugin. We recommend the Flexible Product Fields free plugin, which has all you need with all the main features in the free version.

This WooCommerce custom product add-on has 18 field types (in the free version) 😊.

Watch this video and find out what you can expect from the plugin:

Recently this WooCommerce plugin has been updated and there are a bunch of free fields, which will help you to customize your WooCommerce product page according to your needs. I will briefly explain to you how some of them work and how they can be used for customizing the WooCommerce product page successfully 😊!

A well-designed WooCommerce product page editor should let you go beyond the limitations of default WooCommerce attributes without forcing you to touch a single line of code. Whether you're selling custom apparel, personalized gifts, or made-to-order items, the ability to edit the WooCommerce product page with dedicated field types — rather than relying on generic text descriptions — makes the difference between a product page that simply displays information and one that actively captures what the customer needs. This is especially valuable for stores where every order requires slightly different input, since a flexible editor scales with your catalog instead of requiring a new solution for every product type.

Edit the WooCommerce product page

Let's have a look at all fields available in the Flexible Product Fields plugin:

Fields available in the free version of the plugin 🆓

• E-mail
• URL
• HTML
• Heading
• Paragraph
• Multi-checkbox
• Radio with colors
• Time
• Color
• Image
• Text
• Textarea
• Number
• Checkbox
• Select
• Multi-select
• Radio
• Radio with images

Choosing between the free and PRO version of a WooCommerce product page editor usually comes down to how much control you need over field behavior, not just how many field types are available. The free version already covers the vast majority of customization needs — text, selects, checkboxes, and more — which is often enough for stores collecting straightforward customer input. PRO becomes worth considering once you need fields to react to each other (conditional logic) or to affect the final price, both of which are common in stores selling configurable or made-to-order products.

Fields available in the PRO version of the plugin

• File Upload
• Date with advanced date exclusion options

So, without a doubt, there is quite a lot to choose from, especially in the free version of this WordPress plugin! 😏

Add a text field to a product page

Once you have the Flexible Product Fields installed and activated, you may start customizing the WooCommerce product page. The free version of the plugin will also suffice 😏!

Let’s focus now on some extra product fields to customize the WooCommerce product page!

Paragraph field type

Use this field type if you need to provide some extra information or product description on your WooCommerce product page. It works great if you want to use this text field to describe the product or service you are selling.

Email field type

Now, another interesting and useful field type is the Email input field. Allows your customers to add email address information to the product. Additionally, it also verifies if the introduced email address is not incorrect. Here is a short guide on how to add this custom field to a product page.

1. Edit the WooCommerce product page by adding a new field type

   👉🏽 First, select the email field type:

   

2. Choose the field settings

URL field type

An analogous process can be applied to the URL field type.

HTML field type

The product page editor lets you also use the HTML field type.

Use this field for example to create hyperlinks, add colors to your text, or change its format.

   First, you choose the HTML field type from the list.

2. Edit the field settings

   Then, write your text in the HTML code. These are just some examples of what you can use it for:

Heading field type

Last but not least, I will choose the Heading field type 🙂.
